Duvet or Gro-bag?

[Pinchypants]

My DD is one next week and she has slept in a gro-bag since she was three months old. She's pulling up and moving around a lot in bed now and I think she's tripping over the bottom of the bag and finds it difficult to get down to sleep from a sitting position and gets all tearful at nap time when she gets stuck after I've put her down. Anyone think a small duvet might be good instead of a grobag or is she still too young?

I got a duvet when my LO was one and we have found it really good. Worth a try!

i have also wondered this. My DS is now 15 mo's and often falls over when he's trying to stand up in the morning. However he still wriggles all over the place during the night, so i'm concerned he'd end up covered by it?
Do they learn to pull the duvets onto themselves?
*Will be watching this thread with interest... thx pinchy!

If you're worried about her pulling the duvet over her face or coming uncovered and getting cold, you can buy sheet grips. Basically bits of elastic which fasteners on each end that hold a flat sheet in place on the mattress. I'm sure they'd work just as well with a duvet and stop it slipping around. Can't remember where I got mine but I think it was one of the baby catalogues.

I tried both with dd2 because i had both available. She ended up staying in the grobag because she was so darn fidgety i couldnt get the duvet to stay on her for longer than 5minutes. Even if i waited until she went to sleep and then covered her over she would still kick it off. We had to get up to her in the night because she was cold. I put her back in the grobag and it was far better dispite the whinging before going off to sleep.

DS2 (14m) won't sleep unless he is in a bag. without a bag he just crawls round the cot as if he is looking for something!

in answer to your op -hmmmm don't know!i use groBag..BUT whatever works for u

My dd is now 17 months and still sleeps in sleeping bags.

Grobags are great but I have the lightest tog one, and then she also has her fleecy blanket which makes her feel snuggly. The grobag means she can't kick it off, but she has something to sniff and stroke too!

We moved to a duvet at about 14 months, it has taken her awhile but now sleeps happily underneath it and pulls it over herslef but not over head. She wakes up early but so quietlt we don't know she is awake and this seemed a better idea than getting tangled up in a gro bag.

Thanks everyone - I think we'll stick with the grobag for now cos DD's such a wriggler.
